31. Prince William County - Geography Of Virginia One of the counties described in the geography of virginia course at George Mason University. http://www.virginiaplaces.org/vacount/prwillco.html

@import url(../styles/base.css); Why Is It Called Prince William County? Prince William was formed in 1730 and named by the General Assembly after the second son of George II. Prince William was made the Duke of Cumberland in 1726 when he was five years old, so he was all of nine years old when honored by the name of the new county. Cumberland County and Cumberland Gap are also named after him. King George II and his wife Caroline liked Prince William far better than his older brother Frederick , but Prince William still missed a chance at becoming king after his Frederick died in 1751. Instead, Parliament and the King's ministers chose the late Frederick's oldest son, George, to become King George III. Since Fredericks son (Prince William's nephew) was only 13 years old at the time, his mother Augusta was prepared to serve as regent if necessary until the new Prince of Wales turned 18. However, George II lived nine more years until 1760, when young George III was crowned. His 39-year old uncle remained the Duke of Cumbeland. Prince William was trained initially to be Lord High Admiral of the British Navy , but he preferred the army. During the War of Austrian Succession on the continent, he was wounded in the Battle of Dettingen. Today's Episcopal Parish of Dettingen in Prince William County is named after that British victory.
